I just saw on shop.titusti.com that they are selling the aluminium Rockstar frame for $1222 with a Rockshox Monarch RT3. http://shop.titusti.com/ProductDesc.aspx?code=10ARS&type=1&eq=&desc=Titus-Rockstar&key=it I dont know if they ship to SA or how much it will cost then, but I don’t think R8175 is too shabby (exchange rate of 6.69)

I have a silverback (alloy sierra). I had the 2009 frame and due to my fault I cracked the frame. I took it to the shop with little hope as I know what most bike brands do in a case like mine (I extended the seat-post to far out). I explained to them what I did and they got on the phone with the silverback agent and explained to him what I said. Guess what? Two days later I had a 2010 frame! Unbelievable! That is service. I really like my silverback and would recommend the brand to anyone.

Mankele is absolutely brilliant! I went there with 3 buddies in Dec 2010 and we had a blast. There are a couple of routes with varying distances. The map at reception is great. The camping is very good as well. There aren't allot of trees so when its hot, you will need something decent to provide shading. There is a leka swimming pool, but the best of all is the trails. Form bush tunnels to tech singletrack and lung bursting climbs. Just a heads up - when heading out to the longer trails, take it easy over the first 4.5km. The climb is brutal but from there is whoop whoop! You are going to have a jol!

Is this the one presented by Kinetic gear? Im not going to enter this event but i would like to do the 'full moon' one. Have you done any of the 'full moon' or 'double moon'? race?

. + 1. Just sad!

Saw the show and I really enjoyed it. Respect to those cyclists

What is the avg price you pay for a fork service? I got a quote for R750 for my Tora. Sounds a bit pricey?

Hectic!! When we were kids we usually braked by putting your tekkie there where the V Brakes were in the back wheel, but I think this would have been a problem with the shoes now. Glad it ended not to bad

I am keen on the next one. Will be 3 of us

That great news! Thanks for the link

I don’t have a gps. Can anyone maybe give some directions for this 100km route? I’ve never been up ‘breedts neck’ either

Anyone know if momsen sells these frames separately? On the website the Carbone frame is only a complete bike.

Just be very careful of any riding on your own (or just the 2 of you). It really dangerous in the Irene area. The amount of bike jacking’s is just scary. Rather go to groenies of join some club rides. FPC in Southdown & the Epic bikes shop have short rides as well.

My wife and I went for our first 'coffee ride' this past Sunday and stopped at this coffee shop/deli/alotofotherthings called Zoe's in Brooklyn. It was brilliant! The security guard said we can leave our bikes in front of the shop and he will keep an eye on them. And he did (but we stil kept an eye on them just in-case). Quite a leka plek

Recently there have been quite a couple of hubbers giving Solomons the thumbs up. This just shows what great service and pricing can do for a LBS. I will be sure to pay them a visit next time before popping into another LBS. Keep up the good work!

I have always received mine, but now that you mention it. I have not yet received one this year yet. I think tread is hands down the best cycling mag in SA. There must be a good reason that we have not yet received it. Holding thumbs! Hopefully tumbleweed has some info?

Hey South Bay Cycles: What is your tel number?

So my 1 and a half year old cycling shoes are starting to separate where the sole meets the leather part. My questions is: Would you mend it with glue or some type of adhesive? Seeing that the shoes aren’t that old, I don’t really want to buy new ones. Has anyone done this and did it work?

Great Idea! I will definitely attend the one in JHB this year. On another note: What happened to 'Critical Mass'. Maybe more of us should join those rides as well?

Me too. I dont mind the mtb'ing and the running, but the swim is something else. I swam 17min on 600m so just to think about 1500m gives me the chill's. That is 2.5 times the distance done yesterday!
